Steve Lasker details how to configure Visual Studio 2005 for SQL Server 2005 Compact Edition

  • Article

While I am not (yet) much of an expert on databases, I was excited to see Steve Lasker post instructions on how to configure Visual Studio 2005 to use SQL Server 2005 Compact Edition.

The following quote, from his post, is bound to make many developer's day.  For me, it's today's quote-of-the-day. :)

"Note, you no longer need to manually add a file based reference to the System.Data.SqlServerCe.dll.  When you install the SQL Server Compact Tools for Visual Studio 2005 SP1, a entry is made in the registry enabling the Add Reference dialog to properly display the System.Data.SqlServerCe reference in the .NET tab."

Take care!
